Submitted by wkjezz on Thu, 2010-10-21 16:39

Throne of the Tides is the Atlantis of Vashj'Ir. A stunningly beautiful instance making the most of Blizzard's all new graphics for WoW. This area is a brand new area exclusive to people with the Cataclysm expansion.

Minimum Requirements

Minimum Level: 80

Heroic Level: 85

To use the Dungeon Finder, you have to have discovered the instance first

1 Tank, 1 Healer, 3 DPS (at least 1 CC- lots of healing type mobs)

Known Quests
At this time there are three unique quests for Throne of the Tides. One is Exclusive to the Horde, another to the Alliance, and the other for both factions.

Ozumat
7,749,000hp
About:
This fight is a phased defensive fight. You have to ward off waves of attackers for 5 minutes until Neptulon becomes enraged and kills Ozumat (my speculation)
Loot:
At the end of the fight, there will be a cache, such as the one in Ulduar's Hodir fight. The contents of the Cache are as yet unknown, but speculation suggests it will contain a loot table of around 7 I279 Blue quality items

The boss fights do currently have strategy notes on them; but at this point this guide is merely a preview of what to expect from loot, health pools, abilities etc. Once cataclysm goes live I will revise this from a Preview to an Actual guide, and also eventually do a sister guide for the heroic encounter.

As usual I encourage any discussion and suggestions in the comment, as I will usually add them in should I deem it conducive.

As a bonus, with permission from Cynical Brit I have a Cataclysm Beta video walk-through.
